Chosen Solution
New connector has only one screw hole. Old connector had two screw holes. Worse, I think the one screw hole on the new connector doesn’t match up with the screw hole in the case. Is that possible? could I have the wrong replacement battery? How would I know for sure…apart from the misfitting screw hole and the one missing screw hole? If I somehow do have the right replacement battery (for the model A1387), how do I get the connector screw hole aligned to the case screw hole and get the connector seated to circuit board?
franklin6, I just checked on your battery with # Part # IF182-000-1 and that is the battery for a iPhone 4 GSM, the part number for the iPhone 4S is IF115-005-1 Hope this helps.
